Dang something new to Google. Looks like it would be a lot of fun I like the springer break idea from a couple guys be pretty wild looking.
 
The key to these is keeping them as light as possible (although I'm not light), and the foot board as LOW as possible. I'm working on a frame identical to the Express (black one), that will be all "drilled" out, to see if it makes it any easier to kick.

Hey, I'd be interested in seeing anybody's scooter posted here.
 
My take on a kick bike, take to of the small units, add 16 inch wheels, extend bars and an Oak plank. The only problem is thats its too high off the pavement. I think I'll remove the wood and use alum diamond plate to the frame.

I forgot about those BOUNCE scooters! They're sorta like the modern version of the Ingo bike.
 
Hey KOTA, Did the rack come on your footbike or did you modify one to fit it? I think a small set of bags would look good on it.
 
I modified a full size rack to fit. I'll probably put a narrow basket on "top". Bags on the side would impede kicking. ..You can put panniers on the FRONT.
 
Thanks KOTA, I was thinking on my Hot Rod scooter. But I have a naw design in mind for that also.
 
anybody power one of these foot bikes? I want to motorize my Mogo Scooter. I put BMX pegs on the front and with a powered wheel, a seat mounted to foot plate and a bent down handlebar,... I'd be hardtailing it 'round the hood :mrgreen: !

I see you made it over from the scoot forum. I've seen a number of conversions to electric, like this.

Im thinking a tall bike...with a platform below the lower bike. This may just help get moving a bit easier. Maybe it wouldn't but would be cool to see!

Might be a problem if you go over a bump that is higher then the platform. Being on a scooter is one thing. Being on a tall bike would be disastrous.
 
Something only a couple inches or so lower than the bottom bracket surely wouldn't be caught on something...but who knows if it would even be helpful.
 
I restored this 1975 Honda Kick n Go, my grandson has fun with it. Sulley
